Pregnant Ciara and family strip off for intimate photo

Pregnant singer Ciara has posed near-nude for an intimate family portrait with her husband Russell Wilson and her son with rapper Future.

The Goodies star is expecting her second child, her first with American footballer Russell, and she celebrated the baby's impending arrival with a sexy photoshoot for HarpersBazaar.com.

In the main image, published on Tuesday (07Mar17), Ciara goes topless as she shows off her pregnant profile, wearing a pair of jeans unbuttonned to expose the top of her white underwear, as she uses her right arm to preserve her modesty.

Another shot features Ciara giving her two-year-old boy, Future Zahir, a piggyback, with mother and child wearing matching white shirt and jeans ensembles. The mother-to-be leaves her blouse open, exposing the curve of her right breast and her growing belly.

However, it's a family picture which really turns heads as Ciara poses in just her white panties as she carries her naked son, cupping his bare bottom, as a topless Russell crouches down behind the two and reaches around to place his hands on her baby bump.

That snap was not included in the spread Harper's Bazaar published online, although it was clear it had been taken at the same shoot. It was instead shared by Ciara on her Instagram page.

"Just The 4 Of Us," she captioned the photo, alongside a heart emoji as she gave a shout out to Harper's Bazaar.

In the accompanying interview, Ciara revealed little Future is excited at the prospect of becoming a big brother.

"He'll randomly pull my shirt up and be like, 'I want to see the baby,'" she gushed. "'Hello, baby. How you doing, baby? I love you, baby. OK, talk to you later, baby. Bye, bye.' Then he'll kiss me on my belly and put my shirt back down."

She also credited the toddler with teaching her about finding strength during times of vulnerability, after splitting with his father, her ex-fiance Future, just months after the boy was born in 2014.

"Once you're able to really be truly truthful with yourself, it's life changing," she explained. "You have way more compassion than you imagine, you're sensitive to the right things."

Ciara wed Russell last summer (16), and went public with their baby news in October (16).
